Looking Through the Lens: Photography 1900-1960 11:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
|
Approximately 150 vintage prints by some of the world’s best-known 20th century photographers are featured in this exhibition of iconic images by European and American artists such as Man Ray, Alfred Stieglitz, Edward Weston, Paul Strand, Dorothea Lange, and Gordon Parks. Drawn from the BMA’s outstanding collection, these rarely shown photographs were produced during a pivotal period in the history of the medium—when photography became fully recognized as an art form.
Organized thematically, Looking through the Lens both showcases the work of great artists and illuminates some of the most significant movements and techniques of the first half of the century. The works range from soft-focus Pictorialist-style photogravures published in Alfred Stieglitz’s ground-breaking journal Camera Work (1903–17) and Man Ray’s Surrealist experiments with solarization to Depression-era documentary photographs and post-war street photography.
